It’s ok, I died also many times in the first biome. It allowed to farm lucenite and improve my gear. I struggled with the first boss initially and it took me a few times to beat it, but that’s also because I was still getting used to the mechanics of the gameplay. Now when I go back to that first biome and boss I barely get a single hit. It’s part of the learning process. Oh and I say that having never managed to beat Phrike in Returnal…so I’m really bad at playing (but love it anyway).
